Cooking With Cricut Challenge #85 - Mother's Day Gifts

Hello everyone and welcome to another crafty Wednesday here and over at COOKING WITH CRICUT! This week's challenge is all about our Moms! We all made gifts - NO cards! Here is what I made - a Mother's Day centerpiece!

I used the following Cricut cartridges:
Giant Flowers
Florals Embellished
Sweethearts
Elegant Edges

I started with the Lotus flower from Giant Flowers and cut it at 6.5".  There are lots of petals to cut to make this flower, but the instructions in the cartridge booklet are very clear on how many to cut of each kind of petal and exactly where they all fit into the base.


Here is the finished flower before adding the center pieces:

I actually thought I was done with it at this point but decided to take it a step further by adding the Mother's Day signs!

To find out even more details about this project, check back here on Thursday for the lengthy instructions on how the giant flowers go together and a great way to organize your many cuts! :-)

Now,  head over to COOKING WITH CRICUT to link your own Mother's Day gift creation for a chance to win a great prize! 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back on Thursday so you can get some great tips for making these giant flowers!

Jen that Lotus flower is gorgeous. The colors you used are perfect. Then to use it for the base of your Mothers Day bouquet is so darn smart. Love it!

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack.
